“It’s fitting that the leadoff hitter for Niagara University in the NCAA Baseball Regional Friday is used to being the underdog.

“Blue Jays fans gasped when they saw the famous home run jacket return last week when Bo Bichette hit a two-run home run in the 9-2 win over the Chicago White Sox.
It was the first time the jacket had been seen since the end of the 2022 season. Too much frivolity or so management and some fans thought. And the bosses were right when someone would go deep to cut the Jays deficit to 9-2 as everyone in the dugout was pranced and danced.
Yet, another jacket was on display in the GTA since opening day in Central Ontario Association play. The night after Bichette homered -- centre fielder Jayden (The Jet) Felipe-Abug hit an inside-the-park home run as the Mississauga North Tigers beat the Mississauga Southwest Twins 14-6 at Meadowvale Park. As Felipe-Abug slid into home plate the third base dugout reacted as if someone had hit a fire alarm.”

It was the final baseball game in Pac-12 history. In fact, it was the final sporting event in Pac-12 history. Arizona will go on to play host to a regional this weekend, but USC, which built the most durable dynasty in the history of the league, didn’t make the field.”

“Jaden Babiuk is hoping he can accomplish something in college that only five players have done in Major League Baseball history.
After taking the field at five positions for the Valley City State University Vikings in 2024, the St. Albert product started thinking about the potential of playing all nine positions in a single game.
Only Bert Campaneris, Cesar Tovar, Scott Sheldon, Shane Halter and Andrew Romine have done it at the MLB level.
And while he wouldn’t be able to do it with 10 teams like Will Ferrell did in Spring Training, Babiuk says it is on his bucket list heading into his senior season with the Vikings.”
